Claims & citations
Fernando states that he was married to Bárbara Enríquez, by then dead; the curator’s petition calls her his wife.
Fernando names Mariana, under five, as his and Bárbara’s lawful daughter.
Fernando names Gerónimo, under four, as his and Bárbara’s lawful son.
A 1605 receipt calls Enrique Coronel Fernando’s “tío”. As Bárbara’s brother-in-law he was an uncle by marriage at most; the word is not explained.
Estévez Pérez (2017) makes Fernando Álvarez el mozo, with the same wife and children, a son of Felipe Álvarez; this file twice calls him the son of Alonso de Morais. The conflict is unresolved, and the 1608 list keeps Felipe’s son Fernando Méndez separate.
